Step 4Make the Fondant
Ok this is kinda of difficult and involved but if you have ever made bread you might be familiar with some of the steps here.
1. First sift the powdered sugar onto a large board and make a mound in the center. You really need to sift this stuff, it looks super fluffy but it has alot of little clumps that you normally do not notice. However these clumps are a major problem when making fondant because they make it bumpy and uneven.
2. oil your hands with the cooking oil of your choice, you could also use butter, crisco or any type of grease for this job. Basically you are greasing your hands so that the sticky marshmallows do not stick to you.
3. get a friend to scrape the melted marshmallows onto the mound of sugar, then dump lots of powdered sugar ontop of it. It should be completely covered.
4. gently kneed in the sugar until it gets a thicker consistency. maksuge you keep it well covered in sugar and keep your hands well greased.
5. Once it is thick enough to not run all over the place, kneed it much harder and you would for bread dough. Basically to kneed you use the bottom of your palms to push the dough forward and then use your fingers to pull it back to center. Do this over and over agian applying more sugar as it soaks it all up.
6. when the sugar dough turns to the consistency of soft taffy then it is done.
